Run was tough today. The legs are still fatigued in the quads from all that fun last weekend. :) It was hard to go ar pace (wanted to go faster), then hard to go en ( legs started to hurt a bit in the quads) then hard to slow down again. My hr was high for these paces today, so I guess I'm not recovered just yet. I am trying very hard to be disciplined and do what my plan calls for. Today was a challenge to go the correct paces,but I did. AND I missed the rain. That was just lucky timing on my part. :)

Tonight I finally hit the pool. I didn't want to, but again, trying to do what the plan calls for, and it went ok. My new coach gives us some options, so I did opt to do the lower yardage work out. My body enjoyed being in the pool and the first 5 100's felt good, but man that last one let me know I was done. Finished the last only a second off pace from the other 5. Stretched well in the bubble tub. Ahhhh!

Rode at the lab with Wayne, Jules and Pammy. :) Tempo effort was harder than usual with the tired sticks. The legs kinda woke up on the last set. Then I got my core work in and rolled really well, chatted up Chris and hit the Meijers on the way home. Man, it's hard to not buy everything in sight when I've not eaten a proper dinner before the lab. I'd munched all afternoon so I wasn't hungry till AFTER the ride! Doh! I ate one of the banana's I'd bought on the way home. Mmmmm. Bananas!

Monday - May 23

Travel day home from TTT. Slow service at Bob Evans, and over 1:15 to get home from Rangers meant no time for anything other than laundry and a basic unpack of gear. Man, the nasty clothes bag had a serious stink goin' on. Serious stink!
